Back in 2017 when I was defining and hiding these around the game world it was a fun little extra thing to add to the game, I had no idea people would be analysing these so deeply 6 years later. Cheers on going the extra mile on demasking effects of these so well.
A good test confirming the wiki numbers for each die. The Lucky Playing Dice are the best dice by a notable margin, even better than the Odd Dice. A full set of lucky playing dice with perfect throw routinely allow you to win before the opposition even gets to throw, whether through 5 1's, 6 5's or just constantly scoring all 6 dice and rerolling.
I got into this game about a month ago. I'm 52 years old. I played Atari 2600 berserk in Middle School, first edition d&d in high school, final fantasy tactics and so on.... This may be the best F'n RPG e v e r.
It is so nice to see content creators covering KCD when im getting back into it myself. Especially ones not covering the same 5 tips and tricks but doing good, interesting analysis. Sequel hype already building
I didn't even know there were so many dice in this game. Also the mechanic behind them all in combination with each other is next level. Thanks for the great explanatory video !
This has to be one of the best gambling mini games in gaming history. I feel the same way about gwent in Witcher 3. Not sure why there isn't more fun and complex mini games like this. Thanks for the vid. You put a lot of time and dedication and confusing mathematics to come up with how the dice works.
@@middlesiderrider That deck makes you feel like a CIA or KGB spy from the amount of spies are in that deck lol. I haven't really tried the monster deck much so not sure how good that one is. I like NIflgard because of the amount of hero cards there are. I need to play with the skellige deck though. I heard that one was super unique.
@@marcfilms999 I started the game thinking Gwent sucked because I always lost. But the more I played the more I appreciated the complexity and I just started dominating. I beat every Gwent story mission first try and I didn't realize that was a big deal until I read all the Internet posters looking for guides and recommending save scumming. And yeah I'm the kind of person that, if something is working I just stick with it. I tried the other factions and didn't like them. I'm sure that's just because I didn't spend enough time developing a strategy. I don't usually like mini games(especially in a game world as amazing as TW3's) but I thoroughly enjoyed playing Gwent whenever I had the opportunity.
@@MythicDawn 3 you get from the Gambler of Sasau (pick pocket) 1 is in a grave north of ushitze Master Karel is ushitze also has one (pick pocket) ......... the 6th one you have to get from a treasure (i quickly google) Ancient map III Treasure map I Treasure map III Treasure map VIII Treasure map XI Treasure map XIII Treasure map XVII Treasure map XX
The Lucky Playing Die actually beats the odd dice. It has better odds of getting 1 and 5, reduces 3s with more chance for 6s for better scoring if they do pop up, and has 0 chance of rolling 2s, the worst result.
i had the vicar quest. i told him " i didn't hear nothing heretic". he said ... "hmm really? " LOL. then the quest failed. im like wtf! i can't beat the battle quest; so all im doing now is just READING . and pickpocketing people while they sleep LOL
New sub over here. This is the second video i watch of your channel an im impressed on how much time and effort you take to explain things even the difficulty of those. People like you deserve to have millions of followers, but not everybody is willing to trust the info that a small channel may give you. I wish you the best, and i hope that you appear some time in my recommendations page!
This was great! I personally try to get the Lucky Playing Dice as soon as I can. Even if you don't have the full set, you can rig the odds in your favour by trying to keep them in the game as long as possible. When the AI players get two 1s on the first throw, and rightly only score 1 of them, they always take the good die and rethrow the ordinary one. The best play is to score the ordinary die, so you can throw the special die again. Can also confirm that the LPDs *never* roll a 2, so it is impossible to get any straighs(small, big, full) with a full set of LPDs.
I like to use the lucifer dice set along with a devil's head and two shrinking dice. Rolling 6's all day long and winning every game without relying on the lucky throw perk (which feels like cheating IMO) is so much fun. :D
Thank you for this informative DICEY video! Great work, man! I waited for at least 100 hours into the game to try Farkle, but it's fun...when you WIN, that is! 😅
YES! Tht happened to me yesterday; i've just gotten hold of those Demon-dice, and on my first throw in the very first round i got 4000 points! I took that poor guy for his last 100 Groshen apparently! 😂
This is a pretty impressive and thorough video man, thank you for your thorough research, although I'm surprised you didn't mention the Pribyslavits boar drink you can with the from the ashes dlc. It helps improve your odds of winning after consumption. I'm not entirely sure how though, it's probably in the same way as lucky throw, but I'm not going to test it.
I love the roleplaying in this game and how many things you can do. I like to have henry have days off from questing and trying to make money and have him wake up, have a couple drinks and head to the bath house after getting a nice buzz spend few hours with a wench, and then head down to a tavern for some more booze and spend the day playing farkle and boozing and talking to the npcs around the tavern ill even sit him at the tables with other npcs and just enjoy the fact that you can do that and start dialogues with them to gain some speech xp. I like to think of them as his regular drinking buddies. All while having a few drink irl with some joe rogan in the background. Timeless game and pass time i think I might like it even more than skyrim I cannot wait for the 2nd game.
The Riddler can spawn with almost any vanilla dice in his pocket, including henrys beta dice and strip die. I always check any crossroad for him when traveling. I have almost a full set of any dice in my main save.
I want that Ledetcho gamblers Devil's Head Dice! I can't Ko/kill him so I was forced to learn pickpocketing to try to get it from him. I swear that dice lets him roll nothing but straights.
And that S O B (yes he took me there) gambler in SKALITZ of all places rolled NOTHING but Three of a kind, four of a kind, partial straight, full straight e v e r y damned game!!!! I made it halfway through the game and haven't seen a better Gambler since.
Yes,pickpocketing is the only way to get their dice. You can also just match their loaded set with lucky playing dice to keep things challenging. Most of them can be retrieved from treasure chests.
I apologize, should this comment come off as negative. I am genuinely baffled why you would do this. All the dice and their percentages are listed on the wiki. (Datamined straight from the game files, I think). Throwing each die 300 times seems like a lot of effort to validate something, we already know. I do appreciate the insight into the 'Perfect Throw'-Perk though.
The only thing I wish they had added to Farkle is the ability to bet all your/your opponent's money(whichever is less) and to add a 'score all' option when you want to score all the dice showing instead of marking them one by one.
@MajorCinnamonBuns Thanks. I could probably mod this myself, though it has been ages since I delved into modding of this game. I should try to finish my HC Slow XP mod.
This makes me even more bummed that a town guard took my Devil's Head die. I got caught picking a lock, and decided to pay the measly 60 groschen fine, not realizing that automatically gave the guard the ability to take any stolen items i had in inventory. And of course i didn't realize the Devil's Head was gone until hours later. Stupid guard punishing me for my misdeeds. Anyway, "Jessus Kwist be pwaised.".
Cant imagine what u must sat through - and I thought i played dice a lot in this game :D btw. it seems like agility acts in way like luck modifier - maybe not, maybe its just coinscidence but every time i got agility over 15 my throwssuddenly become god-like. even without perks/ drinks nor loaded dices.
My fav dice combo is x2 Alfonso die, Alfonso devil die, x2 blue demon head die, and one blue shinking die. 3 devil die and 3 nice loaded die. 3blue n 3 red die.
Also if you rebuild town From the Ashes DLC and build a tavern you will be able to get free beer that will give bonus for throwing die getting better combos for an hour.
I've just looked up all of the dice's percentages/probabilities on KCD wiki. Why bother making the experiment, if someone already did the math for you?
Bro I'm getting scammed, somehow I have 2 shrinking die, the holy trinity, AND the even die, and I busted 5 times in the same game. Bro I hate this game
anybody thats on pc and has the console command mod should try spawning in the "another die" they are a blue die like the devil die but without the devils head on them, they are basically lucky playing die but better.
The first time i play this game i tought i can get rich by gambling but im wrong, poaching is better, just need your dog to hunt rabbit down since i know most of us here suck using bow lol
Iont understand shit you said lol so your telling me i can get dice for cheating in game? Is it worth the time finanancialy like can i make substantial money cheating? Unless its a significant ammount im good lol playing board/card/dice games is like torture especialy in a videogame. Like if i even wanted to play dice id do it in real life😂 but if i can cheese it and just quickly click through and win most the time im in 😂

Thanks,Martin!👍
yoo that's cool i love playing farkle, I even install mod for higher bets, so the game become more intense
I hope we can enjoy farkle in kcd2.
So it's *your* fault I spent all night trying to pickpocket Nightingale trying to find that lucky playing dice
I love the dice minigame, as I love the game even without it, it makes it so much more immersive. Good job Warhorse
I can't imagine how long this must have taken you. Thank you for the hard work to make this simple to understand!
Yes,it took quite some time to assemble but worth it. Thanks for watching,Anthony!👍
i think at least 6 years 😊

Warhorse's approach to game design is certainly unique from other rpgs,and a lot of people seem to like it.
It is so nice to see content creators covering KCD when im getting back into it myself. Especially ones not covering the same 5 tips and tricks but doing good, interesting analysis. Sequel hype already building
My main objective in the game right now is collecting all the different dice that I can find. So I really appreciate the video :D
Thanks for watching! Goodluck finding them dice.👍

Witcher 1 had a cool dice game too
6 odd dice
are so fucking overpowered and easy to get
that nothing else maters
-
i once got 47000 points in a single turn with them
Where do you get them
@@MythicDawn
3 you get from the Gambler of Sasau (pick pocket)
1 is in a grave north of ushitze
Master Karel is ushitze also has one (pick pocket)
.........
the 6th one you have to get from a treasure (i quickly google)
Ancient map III
Treasure map I
Treasure map III
Treasure map VIII
Treasure map XI
Treasure map XIII
Treasure map XVII
Treasure map XX
I thought that would be OP because of the heavy focus on both 1s and 5s, but I only have one of them, do you remember where you got yours from?
did my post where i listed them up got deleted by YT ........... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
3 you can get from the gambler in sasau
The combo boost from perk and dice beer, odd dies take the cake imo. Becomes incredibly common to roll 6x 1's or 6x 5's which is instant win.
The Lucky Playing Die actually beats the odd dice. It has better odds of getting 1 and 5, reduces 3s with more chance for 6s for better scoring if they do pop up, and has 0 chance of rolling 2s, the worst result.

Wow the effort you have put here is commendable
Thanks for watching,Steps.👍
Invaluable information you are definitely the best KCD channel I’ve seen so far
I used two Holy Trinity, two lucky die, and 1 strip die, this is the best combination in the whole game.
That Other Gamer, This made me laugh so hard, thanks for sharing!
Amazing video. I can't even imagine how much work you've put into it to get these huge amounts of statistics.
It was a lot of work,creating the animated tables alone took a while.😂 Thank you for watching,it makes the video worth doing.
Dude epic video and excellent research, thank you for the knowledge! Cheers
Thanks for watching,Stephan!👍

I have 5 of them and 1 heavenly kingdom die, it works like a charm. Once I got like 25K points in a single turn lol
Great video especially for beginners that haven't scoured the Wikis (yet)

Hmm that does seem like an effective combo.🤔
Brother I am digging your content, keep doing more like this. :-)
Amazing amount of work for a (admittedly fantastic) game!
Bro just write a whole thesis about KDC dice probability. And he isn't just check the games coding, but actually did an experiment. mad respect
Thank you for this informative DICEY video!
Great work, man!
I waited for at least 100 hours into the game to try Farkle, but it's fun...when you WIN, that is! 😅
At low stakes,it's also a nice way to unwind in-game. There's nothing like playing dice at night while it's raining.
SURE! Several times I've sat playing outside the tavern...in the rain! 😂😂😂😂
its funny as hell when the opponent runs out of money. stands up and leaves LOL
YES! Tht happened to me yesterday; i've just gotten hold of those Demon-dice, and on my first throw in the very first round i got 4000 points! I took that poor guy for his last 100 Groshen apparently! 😂
“You gave me loaded dice?
He gave me *LOADED DICE!”* (fake crying)

If you collect all three demonic dice you can roll 6, 6, 6 all day, every day
thank you so much, for your effort!
You're welcome. Thank you for watching,Micael.👍
The Riddler can spawn with almost any vanilla dice in his pocket, including henrys beta dice and strip die. I always check any crossroad for him when traveling. I have almost a full set of any dice in my main save.
i still hope that they add chess to play in second game
That would be awesome.
would be a neat thing if they added them with old rules being in that times i.e. castling was invented in XV century.
👍
I can't believe the strip dice is difficult to get! I got it no problem first try and didn't even know it was something special 😮
great video man! can you make a video showing how to get all these dice? i missed a few
Amazing work
Subscribed
Man.... thank you for the effort.
Hello,Mitaka. Thanks for viewing!
This was awesome analysis.
Good work as always 🔥
Thank you,Alex.👍
brilliant work !
Thanks,F.W.👍
But you know that there are data about those dices on the wiki? With percentage chance for each side mined from the game files?
From my experience Alfonse's dice from the DLC quest for Hans is the best dice in the game. 1's for days.
I know it's late but the strip die can be looted from the riddler guy on random encounter
arent the data about the chances in those special dices out there?
I normally use a set off lucky dice with odd sided. Sometimes using heavenly kigdom depending on how i want to play.
I finally got the full set of lucky playing dices! Scored 6 ones twice nowXD 8 000 points insta win.
Great video. Does the mark on the heavenly Kingdom die act as a joker/straight filler like the devil's head dice?
That's what I also thought before-but no,it's just a regular 6. Thanks for watching,Glen.

@MajorCinnamonBuns Thanks. I could probably mod this myself, though it has been ages since I delved into modding of this game. I should try to finish my HC Slow XP mod.
Would really be fun to know how high the % rate of winning the match in you testline was 😋
Thy you for the hard work .
This makes me even more bummed that a town guard took my Devil's Head die.

Anyway, "Jessus Kwist be pwaised.".
Started the video expecting to be told which dice are best and where to find them.
Finished the video with answers and associate’s degree in stats.
Do you do have to do anything specific other than winning to get the strip dice?
If she isn't using the strip dice do you get it?
I'm good. I thought she gave you the dice when you beat her, they give it to you at the end of the quest
You`re a hero !
where do you get these dice?
Great work
amazing
Thanks,Marcelo.👍
Two strip dies. One is on the riddler too.
Cant imagine what u must sat through - and I thought i played dice a lot in this game :D btw. it seems like agility acts in way like luck modifier - maybe not, maybe its just coinscidence but every time i got agility over 15 my throwssuddenly become god-like. even without perks/ drinks nor loaded dices.
I always found it to be boring and had no clue how to play it, on my 5th playthough I figured out how to do so and now I find it to be enjoyable.
Glad you're having fun wih it.👍
Timestamps would be nice!
legend
Looking forward to playing dice for 1000's of hours in KDC2
My fav dice combo is x2 Alfonso die, Alfonso devil die, x2 blue demon head die, and one blue shinking die. 3 devil die and 3 nice loaded die. 3blue n 3 red die.

I didn't know about the beer thing. Thanks for telling me,Kaz.
no Lu, Ci, Fer dice?
I've never lost a game with a full set of odd dice.
Man these math rocks are gonna make me rich with this data
💰😎👍
the misforunte dice does wat it does ur luck is fucked it affects random fast travel events it ruins ur speech checks
I doubt
What were your levels
There is a wiki page with every dice roll % chances
a useful video that is wasted once you get high agility and the game rigs the game for you :)
Best dice in the game is lucifer i never lose lol Ave!
I've just looked up all of the dice's percentages/probabilities on KCD wiki. Why bother making the experiment, if someone already did the math for you?
Because my brother, science is verifiable. Jesus Christ be praised.
Bro I'm getting scammed, somehow I have 2 shrinking die, the holy trinity, AND the even die, and I busted 5 times in the same game. Bro I hate this game
anybody thats on pc and has the console command mod should try spawning in the "another die" they are a blue die like the devil die but without the devils head on them, they are basically lucky playing die but better.
The first time i play this game i tought i can get rich by gambling but im wrong, poaching is better, just need your dog to hunt rabbit down since i know most of us here suck using bow lol
I beat zdenna using the lucky playing dice
She is a formidable Farkle foe without it.😂
@ThatOtherGamer She's not that good, but because the winning score is 1,500 she wins easily, unless you have loaded dice
6 odd dice
Heres a comment for your troubles
Iont understand shit you said lol so your telling me i can get dice for cheating in game? Is it worth the time finanancialy like can i make substantial money cheating? Unless its a significant ammount im good lol playing board/card/dice games is like torture especialy in a videogame. Like if i even wanted to play dice id do it in real life😂 but if i can cheese it and just quickly click through and win most the time im in 😂
